Here is the latest in the series of Friendly Plastic Videos. So many have asked how to place images onto Friendly Plastic sticks.

The sticks are very different than the pellets and as a result require a different technique. My goal was to come up with one that is simple and fool proof. I've used these types of transfers before with polymer clay and they work beautifully as well....

If you've discovered a transfer technique for Friendly Plastic we want to hear from you! So contact us via email or leaving a comment on the blog.

Thanks to everyone for their patience! I really needed it this month! With my uncle's passing and a sudden trip to California - losing the photos for this pom club and then a computer crash - I need all the help I can get! I think I'm finally back on track!

This month the project features Friendly Plastic Pellets in making nugget beads. This is just a wonderful and simple way to create a splash of color for your wardrobe.

Finally, Im back in the studio....well sort of.....Im at home and playing catch up! Take a look at what came in the mail today!! All sorts of wonderful blank pieces to play with!

These blanks from Nunn Design are perfect to use with Friendly Plastic to create your own one of a kind piece of jewelry! But, don't just limit them to jewelry....think embellishments! Use your favorite friendly plastic technique to create an embellishment for a gift bag, candle or handbag!

Also......don't forget about our Heart of Friendly Plastic designer challenge this month (click on the image at the top of the blog!) - Marble It! These pendants would work great with the marbling technique.

For more ideas or to order - visit Nunn Design and let them know that I sent you!

Thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding this month. It's been a hectic month. But soon things will be back to normal.

This month's project focus is on making miniature flowers. These little flowers make such great embellishments for your characters....especially bears and dolls playing dress up. In this case, I made a them into a floral quilt.

When you are a little girl.....you want to be big, you can't wait to grow up.....and then when you get older...you'd give anything to be younger again!

There was a time when I thought I was too big to play dress up .....or play with dollies.....but not anymore!

My room at Aunt Molly's is fit for a princess....the soft bed makes you feel like you're floating on a pillow of clouds.....and the room is decorated with vintage pictures and hats......

While Aunt Molly was getting ready for the day ...... My Mom and I played dress up....trying on all the Hat's and taking pictures. We had so much fun!

I treasure the time I have had with my mother and family. I haven't had this much quality time with her in such a long time! It feels so good to mom's little girl. And what great memories I'll have for the rest of my life!

Aunt Molly liked this picture so well, we're having a tea party Sunday afternoon. All the girls in the family are going to dress in vintage clothing and have tea in the back yard. You KNOW there will be lots of pictures taken.....and what great memories too!!!

Thank you for all the condolences I've received on behalf of my Uncle Jim. It means alot to our family and to Aunt Molly and I to know how much he was "loved and admired by all"!

There was around 300 hundred that attended the Memorial and celebration of his life yesterday afternoon in my Aunt Molly's back yard. The concensus of everyone in attendance was that it as the "happiest" funeral that they ever attended and I couldn't agree more. Yes, we grieved and tears flowed.....but with the beauty of the surroundings and the hope of a ressurection to everlasting life back to earth that the Bible promises brought us comfort and peace. And we know that he is just in a sleep like state waiting the ressurection.

For friends and family that were not able to attend - below are a few pictures and the words to music that Uncle Jim loved so much and the hope he had....

James Jerome Wayant was born May 25, 1935 in St. Louis Missouri to parents Andrew and Annett Wayant who preceded him in death. Jim had three siblings, Andrew - aka 'Junior who als has also passed away, Mary and brother Bob.

Jim passed away on April 25, 2009 in his home surrounded by his family after a long illness.

He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Marlene "Molly" along with his son, Scott and Wife, Barbara, and Son Chad, Sister Mary and Brother Bob along with Grandson's, Nieces and Nephews.

Uncle Jim was always known for his 55 Red Ford Truck and belonged to the Valley Cruisers Car Club. He is remembered by his nieces as nephews for his smile, warmth and endless teasing. Uncle Jim was very much a people person and loved to go shopping with us. He would sit on a bench for hours and meet and talk to people. He loved going to DisneyLand with us and many of my fond memories are of him taking us on rides - especially the tea cup ride. He was truly a kid at heart. He will be greatly missed.

Jim was a member of the Hemet East Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. His memorial service was officiated by Bob Clark.

Below are the Lyrics to the song... "Would You Like to Live Forever" - I wish I knew who the writer is...
